What the F is going on with F1 ?
It's getting harder and harder to remain a fan...
First they foist those quiet Turbo-ERS-MGK-whatever alphabet soup - F1 cars on us, with "tire management" so we can see the best drivers in the world cruise around in near silence to preserve their rubber and precious engines...
They cut engine and transmissions #s so we can have those silly 75 spot penalties, because that saves so much money vs what they spent on developing that new tech (not)...
They kill testing so it takes 3 years to catch the team that got it right Year 1 (Mercedes)... because it's not like they will spend the same $ on simulators (they will)
They schedule Baku (don't knock it, it looks like an interesting track) the same day as the 24 hours of Le Mans... Really ???
They retain that stupid qualifying format for Bahrein, just to see if it's really that stupid a second time (it is).
And now the white haired Leprechaun wants to replace Monza with Vegas ? Monza ? The race with the sea of Ferrari fans? Is the Leprechaun out of his mind ?
That's where I draw the line. Take out Monza, Spa or Suzuka, and I'm out. Considering F1 is the reason I keep Cable TV, this could save me $. The GPDA is right, F1 Management is bonkers...
